The Love Parade by Sergio Pitol, George Henson (Translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5.9 MB
Overview: The long-awaited English-language translation of Mexican literary maestro Sergio Pitol’s debut novel, which paints a riotous picture of a wartime Mexico filled with refugees and intelligentsia – and murder.
After the accidental discovery of some documents, a historian decides to unravel the mystery of a murder committed in the autumn of 1942. Mexico had just declared war on Germany, and its capital had recently been invaded by the most unusual and colorful of the European ilk: German communists, Spanish republicans, Trotsky and his disciples, Balkan kings, agents of the most varied secret services, opulent Jewish financiers, and more.
So begins an utter enigma featuring a rich and varied gallery of characters, the media of politics, the newly-installed intelligentsia, and beyond. Identities are crossed, characters are confounded; as such, Pitol constructs an exhilarating parade, all the while reflecting on the impossibility of reaching the truth.
At the same time a historical fresco, a fast-paced detective investigation, and a hilarious comedy of misunderstandings, Sergio Pitol’s debut novel The Love Parade began the career of one of the most notable Latin American writers ever.
